long, 6m wide and 3.5m deep with the capability of producing a full range of unidirectional waves up to 0.9m height.\u00a0 The carriage will have a maximum speed of up to 12 m\/s.\u00a0 Our vision is that the laboratory will have a modular philosophy and \u00a0instrumentation systems focussed on advanced fluid flow diagnostics ideal for many exciting future research studies. \u00a0It will be accessible through schools\/community outreach and Open days as well as provide an essential experiential component of our ship science undergraduate and maritime engineering postgraduate teaching programmes.<br \/>\nWe will provide a series of reports over the next few months as we move into the exciting final fit out and commissioning phase.<br \/>\n<a
